Dangers Of Cyber Security

This report studies the risks of cyber security. Cyber security involves protecting that information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks. Although it is designed to protect our data but still it has some dangers that we need to prevent because cyber security is not 100% safe. There are many risks related to cyber security. Some of them include viruses erasing your entire system, someone breaking into your system and changing files, someone using your computer to assault others, or someone stealing your credit card information and making illicit purchases.

Introduction

The organizations have to grow and perform well financially, to please the investors or shareholders. They have to innovate and keep making new products and

Internet-delivered attacks are no longer a thing of the future. They’re an impactful reality, albeit an untouchable and often abstract one. It would seem that only those with serious tech skills truly grasp the severity of the issue, but these people can’t fix the problems by themselves. Nowadays every kind of data is stored remotely so, if someone manipulates it or alters it, it could become a loss for any organization. If a person who is unauthorized has an access to someone’s bank account, and if they transfer huge amount of money illegally it would become a great loss. These type of cyber attacks happen all around the world. The cyber security prevents that from happening but they are not fully successful. There are some basic reasons because of which some organizations fail to provide cyber security. These could be failure to cover cyber security basics, not understanding what generates corporate cyber security risks, lack of a cyber-security policy, confusing compliance with cyber security, the human factor-the weakest link, funding talent and resources constraint

The Internet and World Wide Web have made huge amounts of information instantly available, and smart phones have put it at our fingertips everywhere we go. Our interaction with the physical world is now being transformed by the Internet of Things. As many as 15 billion devices are already online; estimates for 2020 range from 26 billion to 50 billion. Data storage is increasingly shifting to the Cloud, increasing its accessibility and usefulness; but also increasing complexity. Cyber security challenges are global, with networks, services and attacks rarely confined to a single authority. The best researchers are also located around the globe, and their thoughts can quickly be applied anywhere. Data are also easily transmitted around the world, can be rapidly replicated and are extremely long-lived. Legal frameworks are not yet well adapted to this situation, with public policy and law enforcement still working mostly at the national level. This makes it harder to respond to attacks, identify offenders and secure digital systems. Cyber threats are hard to predict and constantly evolving. Attackers exploit the vulnerabilities created by complexity and our increasing dependence on digital systems. Simple malware has been extended into highly targeted exploits, such as ransom ware and silent malware that remain undetectable until activated. To deal effectively with these
